I've bought a few, but I'm trying to moderate how much I play this year and a reduction in trading seemed a good way to do that as (BPM aside) it's the gateway to everything.

Wan-Bissaka from my OTW.
Let the coins rain Danny.
Jealous. I think he looks good!Quote:

I’m actually disgusted.
Wan-Bissaka for me.
Just not sure how many special cards he's going to get.
Ndombele in objectives.
Lewandowski is coming in at 162kish.
That is incredibly tempting.
Got Joelinton in my OTW, who is obviously going to do fuck all. Cheers.
Anyone else finding the web app to be really laggy today?
He's shite in PES an' all.Quote:

I fucking hate fifa. I just have no idea how to defend. How come whatever mope I play against in div 6 makes like 3 passes from kickoff and they have like 4 attacking players against my back 4, whereas they always seem to have about 50 players behind the ball? I've been crap since they changed defending but now I think I'm just done. I try to do the thing of controlling the midfielders and running back with them but that doesnt do shit either. Grumble grumble.
Why does an sbc for a rare players pack cost 78k to do? What in the fuck.
I see it’s one of the longer term advanced ones, so as you were.
All stadiums are selling for 400 coins+ by the way.

Tackling is too broken and punishing if you get wrong.
It's broken even if you get it right.
Started on the Ndombele objectives, which are actually pleasant in Division 9. Just need to work out how I can gerrymander it so I stay there.
Tackling or defending in general? Although you're probably right with both.
It punishes you for actually attempting to win the ball, you're largely forced into trying to make your opponent make a mistake.
Tackling. You can time it seemingly perfectly and the ball will just bounce straight back to your opponent. If that were a rare occurrence then fine, but it happens all too often.
Its two fays old and I just don't have the energy to buy it.
It's good Sincere.
Needs some work, but it's good.

I don't remember the last time (has to be FIFA 15 or earlier) that I scored a goal directly from a cross.

Also Lewandowski is really good. Played two World Class SBs with him and he's scored two in each. The first he came on after 55 minutes and in the second he started on 4 chemistry.
I hear career mode is a horrific shitshow at the minute.
Hearing good things about gameplay so far. Though after the state '19 got into that may not be hard.
It's a lot more enjoyable to play although crossing/headers are completely dead which is a bit annoying as there are objectives for them (for OTW Ndombele you need to score from crosses in 3 Squad battles games and Silver weekly is one cross/header).
The only bad bits in the gameplay right now is that you're punished for going for tackles because if you miss your defence is fucked, if you succeed the ball could go anywhere. Also too many rebound goals right now.
For the Ndombele objective just whack it on semi-pro and use the ground cross (RB + cross) and it's a piece of piss.
I agree the silver weekly objective is a pain in the arse though. Wait until you get to gold. :D
That Saint-Maximin SBC is ridiculously shit value. What on earth were they thinking?
Packed Oblak in my second pack :pards:
I think I've scored 1 corner across all my games thus far but how in the fuck am I going to score a header in two separate Rivals games but said header can only be scored with Lewandowski or Laporte in my team.Quote:

Only Thorgan sadly.
3 assists in 5 games (4 of which were starts) so he's clearly got potential for an IF or two as well.
4/8 done for Dembele and halfway through most of the others, which is nice.
Bronze pack method paying out well too at the moment.
I've done nothing so far on the Rivals side. Will probably hammer them out on Monday perhaps, or at least put a dent in them.
I really need to look through my club because I think I've got some serious coins in there. Earlier, I opened a pack from one of the Hybrid Leagues SBCs, checked the price of a duplicate and he's going for about 5k.

His reaction at 3m29 is genuinely perfect.
When he's good and not moaning about a casual mode he is great.
Just sold a bronze Swedish binman right back for 3,500 coins. People are nuts, but I love it.
King of the Hill, which I had to play to complete the last foundation objective is absolute toilet.
Can you complete objectives in friendly modes?
I imagine the open ones yeah. The friendly modes are nonsense but king of the hill farming against the AI for objectives might be nice.Quote:

He was going for over 20k before his OTW objective was released.
I packed Josef Martinez and Gelson Martins from MM's last night. Their pace from the bench has revolutionised my team.
In other questions, why don't managers have contract bonuses any more and where is the 6% boost I do have coming from?
Can anyone remember what the requirements were for the OTW SBCs last year?
Looking to stock up ahead of tonight and can't find them anywhere.

Just packed Fabinho from that shitty Pulisic SBC. He goes for nearly 80k, which is fucking tempting. That'll keep me in bronze packs for ages.
I'd sell him as he will go down in price.
Being a non-walkout he will get packed quite a bit and you can get Rodri for (30-35, will be less when his base card is in packs again) who isn't that much worse or even Fernandinho who is a better than both:
https://www.futbin.com/20/compare/470/918/304
I can't get Rodri though as I'm not allowed to buy him to use him.
I've never really liked Fabinho, so selling is the plan, but is there any chance he'll go up for weekend league?
I forgot about the first owner :moop:
There's a chance, it depends how long it is until the WL but he could due to the strong link with VVD and the Liverpool fullbacks.
Think it's this weekend.
Never mind, listed him for 79k and he's gone.
Up to 117k of coins. :drool:
Base Martinez now has 13 goals in 10 games for me as sub. It's quite tempting to do his potm SBC now, even though it is horrendous value.
